                                             Bougainville 10th - 17th July 2009

During our week on Bougainville we visited the areas around Panguna Mine and Arawa. Very few birders have ever visited Bougainville so most of what we done was exploratory. The area around the mine was very good and gave us access to 1000m where we saw some of the higher elevation species.
